“The Great Way has no gate. Clear water has no taste. The tongue has no bone. In complete stillness, a stone girl is dancing.”

Stone Girl Dancing

the gate shuts  
with a loud groan  
the temple sleeps

The Digger

Made in response to Disquiet Junto Project 0617: Haunt Scape
The Assignment: Halloween is coming up. Do your thing.
There is just one step to this project: Halloween is nearly here, so make some haunted sounds for people to play for trick-or-treaters.

I don't always enjoy the scary things, but I really enjoyed making some scary music. I jammed for about an hour on some hardware gear with this prompt in mind. Later that night, I walked around the house recording my creeky wood floors and rusty doors. Then cut for length and added some effects and edits in Live. 
While I was making these sounds, my wife Monica created this digital collage image. We enjoyed this simultaneous creative process and plan on doing it again. She wrote about this here: https://waxingphotopoetic.substack.com/p/circle-of-tree-thieves-creaking-in?r=7wafc&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Tree Thieves Creak in the Hollow - A Haunt Scape [Disquiet0617]

This is my entry for Disquiet Junto 0622. The prompt was a tough one this time: expresse the idea of a shadow in sound or in music.
I pondered that a shadow was the result of the impact of light on the environment, delineating the contours of an object present in its way. I thought that a process with some degree of equivalence could be found in the multiple reflexions of sound on the walls of a room. The "shadow" of the sound played in the room would be the reverberating part, minus the source itself.
Therefore I wrote a short, slow and atmospheric piece I played on my piano, side-chained the piano track to an ample, shimmer-like reverberation that I recorded on a separate track, and then built the final piece by alternating the source (the piano) and its shadow (its reverberating sound), first together, and then letting the source disappear to reveal only its reverberating "shadow".
I hope you like it !
